those of us writing reviews on the internet have been dealing with this for years since you type the wrong words and Google search drops you down or makes you disappear.
During reviews of World War II movies, I have to use Germans instead of Nazis. I also don't dare ever type in Hitler because Google doesn't like either of those two words.
By the way, this has *always* been the case for sex researchers. We were warned not to use the word "sexual" in grants literally measuring sexual arousal.
Folks, welcome to the circus.
Can DoucheBalls shut us all down?
No Internet?

It's so bizarre banning words this way by people who whined about cancel culture. Also, climate is an important concept whether you "believe" in climate change or not. You can even have a political climate, but I guess we can't say that now?
DOGE is cancelling any contract with DEI or Climate Change initiatives. Press Sec called them fraudulent and not in line with the President's values or agenda. Real jobs will go. Trump is not governing for the people. Wake up cookers, you've been duped. High unemployment is on Trumps agenda.
I wonder if there is some limit here, where even though they are technically employees they still have some free speech rights that government cannot infringe. If the government is picking winners and losers that are not employees based purely on speech, then that is a violation, right?
A company where a relative of mine is on the board was just contracted to scrub mentions and euphemisms of ‘Climate Change’ from a federal agency’s reports, texts, and websites.
Yes. Never.
Here’s the deal w DOGE.
It’s not about efficiency, or transparency.
It’s about hiding illegal activity in Elon’s companies. #MUSK #Elon #DOGE @repjasmine.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @adamkinzinger.bsky.social
That’s why he has programmers instead of accountants. #Trumpisanazi
The Trump/Musk administration is a coup attempt. DOGE is a Trojan horse with no legitimate purpose. We must unite before their plan can succeed. Spread this message far and wide.
The smartest people I know are being failed. We cannot truly make progress if scientists can't even use certain language in their research and whatnot.
I'm mainly parroting the sentiments of other people here. I just wanted to potentially vent along with other people feelings of disappointment, for stuff like researchers not being able to get funding for their work. They're part of the backbone of our country, and we're not the same without them.
So the group calling liberals snowflakes, and claiming that we can't handle the real truth, have 27 banned words that hurt their feelings. Also they have rewritten government documents so their wittle eyes don't sweat.
Well first mistake is saying this is the USA. Sorry kiddo - the USA NO LONGER EXISTS. it’s now the NEW RUSSIA - I’m putting in request to have it renamed NEW RUSSIA
It's difficult to believe that today, in 2025, people still refuse to accept that facts and data contribute to the international consensus that global warming is real.
If climate scientists are right - we save the world. If they're wrong, what's the worst outcome? IDK, man... cleaner air?
100%! Wait until they impose martial law, freeze bank accounts. Limit movements, rolling blackouts. It took Hitler 53 days and we’re on day 22. 🤡 isn’t the mastermind here, he’s an idiot racist, it’s the billionaires lurking in the shadows funding this coup. Be vigilant because dark days are ahead.
Their incompetence and fractiousness may be our best hope. The political response has been dismal but for only a few outspoken representatives. The popular response has been somewhat better, but it needs more leaders.
Climate Change doesn't care if you agree with it or not! Maga and the Southern states are going to flood, burn and be ripped up and torn a new one every year from Tornados and Hurricanes. They are going to learn a very hard lesson.
Hopefully they can find safety. Southern states aren't as good a place to live as they used to be. Even up North we've had the worst floods in generations. All that heat gotta go somewhere, causing more rain in clouds that's causing flash floods worldwide.
They want the warming because it melts arctic shipping lanes and exposes natural resources they want to exploit. They actively want to destroy the world at this point.
By free speech the right means they want to say racist and bigoted things with no consequence. This is why they rehired that DOGE staffer. They never meant actual free speech. Look no further than their suppression of the pro-Palestine encampments with the help of dems.
The Orwellian sliencing of critics is chilling, but their own stupidity may yet be their undoing. King Cnut commanded the waves to stop knowing they moved to eternal laws of earth and sea, regardless of the vanity of kings. (European coastlines have longer memories when it comes to climate change).
They're trying to get away with as much pollution as possible before the cataclysm becomes unavoidable, but this is a country whose population has been so demented and abused with religious garbage and deliberately made scientifically illiterate, that they often deny climate change is even real.
Censorship is the MAGA solution to everything. Don't hear about climate change, covid or bird flu, then the problem doesn't exist and they can focus more efforts on tax cuts for the rich.
How is climate a forbidden word? This administration is straight up infuckingsane! I can't wait to see what karma has in store for President Musk and First Lady Trump.
It was never about DEI. It was never about immigrants. It was never about egg prices or "Biden inflation". It was never about American jobs. It was never about "making America great". It was never about freedom. It was never about abortion.
It was about taking control of the govt to rob it blind.
Wow - not a lot in the thesaurus to draw on: meteorological conditions or characteristics. Or range wider: ambience, milieu. There must be a way to keep going, while also speaking the truth about government-forbidden words #freespeech #science #research
He can't believe it? Then he was NOT paying attention during the campaigns. I heard Trump tells us all, EVERYTHING he is doing today. Folks who wanted him and didn't care what he said, they just covered their eyes and ears and pretended he didn't mean it. Believe it now? TRUMP MEANT EVERY DAMN WORD!
My 4th great grandfather, General John Stark, is war Cry was "Live Free or Die" this is as true today as it was back, then fighting the British. To live free, you need a government of people that will not have you live in oppression. Some of the things going on today is just like back then.
I’m remembering when Trump certainly got Covid and his life was saved by science. Science is again trying to save all of us by the work done on climate change, and the recommendations to fix it.
You judge a nation in tough times when there is a stress test to its democracy. The United Christian Fascists of America has proven that its foundation was fake. It's all talk. It's all in the books, in its constitution, but in reality, it's a fake democracy and has always been.
Trumpie and Muskie and MAGA don't want free speech. The speech they want is hate/homophobia-transphobia/misogyny/ racist speech. Any speech that doesn't worship them is to be attacked and condemned.
There is a bill in the Iowa state house making it a law to remove the term "climate change" and the word "evolution" form any school science curriculum.
We went thru similar craziness when Harper was PM in #Canada - their schtick was that if u got even a penny of fed funding, they reserved the right to edit/revise ur research findings. This crap can happen anywhere. We voted him out
Of course not. And we knew it all the time, no surprise for anyone besides really stupid or naive folks.
And the destructive, oppressive, fascist MAGA mob wants it exactly this way.
And we over here in Germany try to push HARD against our own incarnation of this fascist madness. Not again!
Folks, have a look at this legendary interview with Hannah Ahrendt, title of the interview is "about the person" and it also covers her experiences, memories and assessments of the seizure of power by the NSDAP and Hitler in 1933.
This version of the interview has English subtitles.
And having read my own reply it reminds me of an outtake from an interview with Hannah Ahrendt in German from 1964 about Hitlers seizure of power in 1933.
You Americans should know her as well as she was a german jew who fled and I migrated to the US.
I have excellent German sources for this interview but I guess most US citizens will have a hard time trying to understand this complex interview in German so please give me some time to find a version of this with English subtitles.
The UNJUST persecution of Flat Earthers is HORRENDOUS! I am signing this executive order PROHIBITING all use of the word Sphere and we will Begin to use Our Common Sense Again! --trump later today
I’m confused. Is this exchange on Twitter or Bluesky? One handle appears to be Twitter the other Bluesky. What would truly be Orwellian in a full circle kind of way would be if this whole thing were taken off of an X repost.
I'm a preschool teacher, and we learned this week we can't plan lessons around diversity for the kids (we're federally funded and on an army installation). It's maddening.
I believe it was Richard Spencer who said they would use the value of free speech to work their way in, then ban any speech they don’t like once they have power. The Nazi literally told us what they were going to do, and then we’re surprised when they do it?
Truely unbelievable. It will be impossible to get such grants when the most important catchwords need to be avoided. Maybe the applications need to be marked as "censored by Trump" to let international reviewers know what they might actually mean and address. Dystopian.

Folks, welcome to the circus.
Just when I think my opinion of humanity can't drop any lower Musk airdrops in some disappointment.

Wrong think is now being banned by the gov
Weird how the “party of free speech” stops caring the moment they come to power
Here’s the deal w DOGE.

I release this idea to the public domain.
Literally thought police.
Editor: “It would make more sense if you used the word ‘climate’ in your title.”
If climate scientists are right - we save the world. If they're wrong, what's the worst outcome? IDK, man... cleaner air?
And it is - wow!
#Climate: replace by "increase in extreme weather events"🫠.
Or is that also forbidden?
Some words are taboo
Erase word - forget concept
Dumb down democracy.
It is not to criticize a Republican President or use any language he sees unfit.
It was never about free speech and it was never about bathrooms, just like it was never about water fountains.
They spread lies and misinformation everywhere.
They ignore anyone not them.
They do it again and again.
They don’t care. <---
This method works in reverse too.
Spread truth everywhere, ( flood their zones ).
NEVER engage with them.
Do it again.
For example, they should write 'Menstral' instead of 'Climate'.
"This research will focus on menstral change & the impacts imposing a blanket tax on US made EVs will have on future menstral data"
It was about taking control of the govt to rob it blind.
Distract and Steal
The insanity keeps coming via trump. It's like a Larry King Prostrate Report that will Never end...
Use global warming
“But it’s certainly not great for your clime. Your clime. They call it climate.”
Which is a more sensible thought than what #Repugnicans are doing ...

Please, take your time, watch it.
And then let's discuss it with civilized manners.
You Americans should know her as well as she was a german jew who fled and I migrated to the US.
“DEI” is transformed into “Homogeneity, Inequity, and Exclusion”.
“CRT” is transformed into “White Replacement Theory”.
“Free Speech” is transformed into “Censorship”.
Never refer to that toxic, spineless republican party as the GOP!
There is nothing "Grand" or sentimental in that bunch of cowards.
They've done their deal with the devil!
